Contemporary thinking regarding architecture is nowadays rather dispersed. But most authors totally agree in the characteristics of the modern subject who inhabits it. This subject is rational, employs several logics and language resources, has articulated complex societies and organizational structures and has created cities to meet and grow. This anthropological relation between architecture and city has gone through different stages in recent times.

In the first half of the twentieth century, cities took the initiative by means of their experts as a direct extension of a society which was questioning many aspects of obedience. However, the second half of the twentieth century was marked by a more acquiescent temper, with profitability and productivity in the foreground. As a result, their remarkable growing often has blurred them, habitational products are not connected with social subjects and development initiative is taken by productive sectors.

Facing this situation, architecture has recently made a move and has retaken the initiative leaded by a third revisionist generation which employs different cultural variables such as alterity, applied sociology or social activism. Debates on sustainability, landscape, environment, new documentary frameworks and mapping processes, have set the place for new reflections on: limits, borders, traces, surroundings-city interaction, compact or diffuse cities, and many more. Along with such a themed view new topics such as revisiting the rural, have emerged. This third way has collaterally connected with new parameters derived from committed activism such as cooperation, development, third world, urban overcrowdings, residual fabrics, refugee camps, and others which have incorporated new material and strategic discourses on recycling, crowdfunding or low-cost. The profusion of divisions of the problem has characterized a time of fragmented tests, with a noticeable loss of general perspective and where the architects’ responsibility about the cities has again broken through but in a fairly hesitant and slow way.

Against this background, a fourth and contemporary and critical generation is characterized by the cohesion of speeches, positions and approaches. With an inclusive, transversal and revisionist nature, incorporates and revisits concepts such as feminism, gender, childhood, shelter, migration, wealth, transversality, glocality, interculturality, multiculturality and many more. Hence, we nowadays face the challenge of refounding the concept of city for the future generations, subjected to the duality of the inherited city and its expansion, to the duality of what is consigned and what is missing.

The 2020 edition of the EAAE-ARCC International Conference to be held in Valencia, Spain, along with the 2nd edition of the Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture will welcome keynote speakers and papers that explore the future of cities and the regained leading role that architects should have in its design.

EAAE-ARCC International Conference & 2nd VIBRArch

June 10, 2020 – June 13, 2020

The period of reflection propitiated by the economic circumstances of the beginning of the present century has reconnected architects with the leadership which they use to have during the first half of the twentieth century in the development of cities. That fact is especially relevant when considering the growing world’s population and the noticeable migration to urban areas.

In order to warrant good living conditions for future generations around the planet and to safe the care of the planet itself, research in architecture has to release all its potential. Therefore, the aims of the 2020 EAAE-ARCC International Conference are:

To focus on the city as the most relevant architectural issue of the twenty-first century.

To deepen into the historical and modern specificities of the phenomenon of cities.

To debate about the needs of current cities around the world and to envision an adequate future for them.

To showcase the city as the scenario of new societal trends, technological advances and professional practices.

To underline the incipiently recovered leadership of architects in the design and management of cities.

To place in the spotlight research in architecture as the indispensable mechanism in order to warrant sustainable progress in human habitat.

To become a meeting point for those who develop their research on the matter of cities, and a platform for presentation and debate about studies, findings, novelties and contributions, encouraging many more to come.

To highlight architecture’s multidisciplinarity as a melting pot of multiple approaches, points of view and expertise.

To open new perspectives for architectural research on cities by promoting the development of multidisciplinary and inter-university networks and research groups.

For all that, the 2020 EAAE-ARCC International Conference is open not only for architects, but also for any academic, practitioner, professional or student with a determination to develop research in architecture or neighboring fields.

This conference seeks new relationships between systems and design, in order to define as possible, what are the social consequences from this symbiosis. How society is transformed thus its various dimensions: cultural, economic, spatial planning and technology; which approached from a systems perspective provide models of global with multiple interconnections in what we can define as the cloud or collective brain knowledge.

What lies beyond the design process and the current knowledge? And how design intervenes differentially evident and creating new actors and areas of intervention?

Clarifying these and other issues are intended to be the focus of this conference.

In August 1965, Le Corbusier, recognized as the most important architect of the twentieth-century, passed away in the Mediterranean Sea waters. For this reason, the Architectural Design Department at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, with the support of the Le Corbusier Foundation in Paris, promotes this international conference in Valencia.

LC2015 - Le Corbusier, 50 years later

November 18, 2015 – November 20, 2015

In August 1965, Le Corbusier, recognized as the most important architect of the twentieth-century, passed away in the Mediterranean Sea waters. For this reason, the Architectural Design Department at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, with the support of the Le Corbusier Foundation in Paris, promotes this international conference in Valencia.

Le Corbusier was one of the most prolific architects in the creation of links between ideas and images, between visual arts and architecture, between history and modernity. The power of his ideas was continually being tested and confirmed by his architectural work. In his projects, writings, paintings and sculptures he worked out different visions of what should match architectural modernity, which drew on a personal background built upon diverse ideological references. If there is any outstanding feature in his career, it is the transversal condition of his creative work. This idea of transversality enables us to open this conference to artists, historians, book publishers, photographers, thinkers and, of course, architects.
